I promised you this raspberry mojito recipe over 2 weeks ago now and I’m finally delivering. Rejoice!
It’s actually a little late since we’re right at the end of raspberry season in the UK but hey, I’d be up for drinking these all year round.
A few weeks ago we discovered that there’s mint growing right outside our flat, and ever since then I’ve had raspberry mojito cocktails on the brain.
I think I managed to hold out til the Friday evening to grab some ingredients and test these out! Obviously, several drinks were required to ensure the recipe was juuust right 😉
This is one of my favourite ways to liven up a regular mojito. Don’t get me wrong, a classic mojito is a beautiful thing. But, the extra sharpness of fresh raspberries makes this cocktail just that little bit more refreshing and exciting.
Also, it’s super easy to make. Real talk: I do not have the patience to whip up fancy pants cocktails at home.
Like sure, if I’m in a cocktail bar and someone who knows what they’re doing can make me a 10 ingredient drink that requires a full blown arm workout then I’m aaall for ordering that.
But at home? Give me something that takes minimal effort and no more than a couple of minutes and I’m happy.
If you want to keep things super simple you can skip the crushed ice and go for good ol’ cubes instead.
I actually got waaay too excited to discover that my processor is strong enough to crush ice. It also brought back some excellent memories of the Mr Frosty
Anyone remember those?? Apparently my obsession with kitchen gadgets started longer ago than I thought!
